Description

Nokia, a brand that feels like an old friend, is back with their Nokia 3 smartphone. It is a low-budget mobile that is released as a new member of Nokia’s Android smartphone family. Let’s dive into the features of Nokia 3 and see if it’s worth buying.

Display
Nokia 3 offers a 5 inch IPS display with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, protected by Corning Gorilla Glass. The display is bright, colours are vivid and it offers decent viewing angles. It is worth mentioning that the contrast ratio is lower than average.

Software
Nokia 3 runs on Android 7.0 Nougat, which is upgradable to Android 9.0 Pie. This means that Nokia 3 has access to all the latest Android features and security updates.

Performance
Nokia 3 is powered by MediaTek MT6737 chipset with a quad-core 1.4 GHz Cortex-A53 CPU and Mali-T720MP2 GPU. It comes with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage that can be expanded up to 256GB via a microSD card. The performance is okay for everyday usage, but it may lag when multitasking or playing heavy games.

Camera
Nokia 3 comes with an 8 MP rear camera with f/2.0 aperture and LED flash. The front-facing camera has a 8 MP lens with f/2.0 aperture and autofocus. The camera performance is fine for a smartphone in this price range, and it is good enough for taking basic photos and selfies.

Battery
Nokia 3 comes with a non-removable Li-Ion 2630 mAh battery. The battery performs well and, depending on usage, can last an entire day on a single charge.

Design
Nokia 3 has a polycarbonate body with aluminium frame that gives it a premium feel. It is available in four different colours: Silver, Matte Black, Tempered Blue and Copper White. The design is simple and elegant, and the build quality is excellent.

Conclusion
Nokia 3 is a low-budget smartphone with decent features. It offers a solid design, a bright display with decent colour production, smooth software performance and an excellent camera performance for its price range. Nokia 3 is an excellent choice for those who want a budget-friendly smartphone that offers a satisfactory performance in daily usage.

2 reviews for Nokia 3

  1. Bull Cat

    This phone is a misunderstanding, I recently bought a new one for little money. It was a mistake, it’s the worst phone call I’ve ever had, because I’ve wanted to throw it against the wall several times. The phone is so slow, everything hangs in turn starting from just ringing, typing, google browser, Facebook and most applications are terrible. They open dozens of seconds, and sometimes even a few times even jammed completely that it had to be turned off. The next thing is the battery in the phone heats up like an oven and suddenly loses its power, the percentages fly by itself, and even the phone can therefore turn off after less than an hour, I do not know how it could be released from the factory and sell. People should give away these phones and ask for a refund, because this can not be used normally, never buy this phone!

    One of the few new generation phones “small” enough to be operated with one hand. It fits in a trouser pocket and does not restrict movement 🙂

    Neat design, the latest android, wireless charging, waterproof, very good camera, gestures, face recognition, mini jack connector, fingerprint protection. On the downside, the battery could last longer, but there are no perfect phones. At this point, the price is adequate to the quality. If someone hesitates, I recommend buying it while it is still available, because they do not make new ones and there are less and less of them on the market.
